The route was prepared really well. Because we had to take a lift (11EUR) uphill, there were not so many people skiing.

Filzmoos

You think you have seen it all and then comes something that you absolutely did not anticipate, especially when you don’t have any expectations of it (or planning). Filzmoos Höhenloipe is situated 1600m high in the picturesque area of St.Johann (Salzburg Bundesland). Yet, another place, that is on the list to be visited repeatedly in future.

A very fair reward of the finest local schnapps..the smell and taste of it was just amazing. Full bottles. Took some for presents! Different type of schnapps – not empty bottles:)))
...maybe a little bit too much reward

Of course, I had to break a ski (I blame the ski for that, not myself:)
